Azure WebJob is not using Environmental settings of WebApp

Johnny Slos 0

In my WebJob (who's been running for years, still in .Net 4.5.2) I read the config using

 var config = new JobHostConfiguration
                {
                    DashboardConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AzureWebJobsDashboard "].ToString(),
                    StorageConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MapatoWebJobsStorage"].ToString(),
                };

I double checked the env setting, they are ok. When I check via KUDU I can see the correct connection string. But when the webjob runs, it fails indicating is has no access to storageaccount xxxx. xxxx being a dev storage account that is stored in the App.config. Any suggestions ?

@Johnny Slos Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

For trouble shooting this further please try below mentioned steps:

Try to print/ Log out the value of App settings via the web job code and compare both the connection strings are same or not.

Use exact same connection string and try to connect via Storage explorer.

Check if there is any firewall on the storage account. If yes, are all the outbound IPs of app is whitelisted?

Venkatesh is is getting weard. In the app.config in the sources there is the connectionstring of the dev storage account. I updated that one to match the changed keys. Now it works again, BUT the webjob is using the connection string that is stored in the environment settings for the production storage account. It is like that the connectionstring in the appsettings is loaded and checked although at usage time the overwritten one (environment settings one) is used.
